Monday!

The new e-book editions of The Other Side of the Gate and The Empty Sea will be officially released this Monday, May 6th!  Both novels of the Into the Realms Series will be available for download on iBookstore, Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble Nook!

Outstanding work by Gerren Rabideau on the new covers!

Spring is about to be sprunged ...

... I don't know, I don't adhere to Daylight Savings Time, so I don't know the expression.  Close enough, right?

The point being, that big things are coming up in the next few months for me and fans of my various stuff!  My extensive editing work for the 2nd edition of The Other Side of the Gate, and The Empty Sea, is reaching its long-awaited conclusion, and both books of the epic fantasy/adventure series, henceforth to be known as Into the Realms, will be released as e-books to the general public very soon.

In the meantime, feedback from last year's two e-book releases, Famous Adventurers Correspondence School, and the novella Gambit of Chance, based on the Squishy Studios web series Voyage Trekkers, have been very positive so far.  If you haven't read them yet, I hope you'll download them to your tablet or computer and check them out.  The Voyage Trekkers novella is available for free in most places (Amazon Kindle has them for a nominal $0.99), and FACS is a very affordable $4.99.  If you HAVE read them, let me know what your think!

Coming up in May is the big roll-out of the long-awaited 2nd Season of Voyage Trekkers as well, and the early reviews are very enthusiastic!  The web series premire will be on Wednesday, May 1st, and honestly, it blows all of Season One away!  Capt. Sunstrike, Cdr. Powell and Dr. Rena return of course, and we'll get to see their ship, the GSV Remarkable for the very first time.  We'll also be introduced to the scrappy little ship's patchwork crew, including their out-dated ship's robod, INFO (played by yours truly). 

There will be lots more Voyage Trekkers-related stuff transpiring in the coming weeks and months ahead, so stay tuned!  We're also going back to the Phoenix ComiCon this year in late May, and I'm optimistic that TOSotG and TES will be out on e-books by that time as well.

Ha ha!  Done with shameless product promotion blog posting update!  This weekend, I'm going to do a REAL post about fantasy novel writing (and reading) that's been on my mind for awhile, so stay tuned ...

The Empty Sea finished!

Well, after almost two years, I've finally finished the first draft of The Empty Sea, the sequel to my previous book, The Other Side of the Gate!  I'm still going to be spending the next several months editing and revising it, but thusfar, it's on track to be published as an e-book sometime this fall.

In addition, there will be a number of other books which will also be released as e-books, including a new edition of The Other Side of the Gate, including some great new cover art.  I also plan on putting out a tablet version of my previously-mentioned work, Famous Adventurers Correspondence School over the course of the summer, as well as an entirely new book based on the Squishy Studios web series Voyage Trekkers, which will also be out in a few months. 

I'll be speaking more about my previous and future work on Voyage Trekkers in later posts, but in the meantime, be sure to check out the very popular first season of the sci-fi comedy online series about the worst starship crew in the galaxy.

My entry into the e-book publishing world should make for a very busy second-half of the year, and hopefully allow more people to enjoy my various novels.  In the meantime, I'm very excited about the results of my last several months of writing, and I'm looking forward to getting TES ready to come out, alongside its predicessor, very soon. 

Stay tuned for further updates in the weeks and months to come...

Updates on Upcomings

It's been a while since I posted last, so I thought I would leave an update on what I'm working on now. I've finished working on my short late-80's adventure novel series, Famous Adventurers Correspondence School, and am in the long and often trying process of attempting to get it published. I am optimistically hoping to have it ready to go out by early next year, so we'll see.

In the meantime, I'm busy working on the sequel to my last novel, The Other Side of the Gate. I've always envisioned TOSotG to be the first part of a five-part series, and given the length of the series it seemed like a good idea to start up the second book as soon as possible, despite the fact that it's not necessarily intended to be my next book published. The sequel is called The Empty Sea, and I will be posting updates on and about it as I go along. I am already well beyond the early stages of writing it, and am very excited about the direction that the story is taking me.

I hope everyone has had a good summer and is looking forward to a hopeful autumn!
